Israeli soldiers shot and killed a 21-year-old Palestinian woman near the West Bank city of Hebron on Wednesday and wounded another local youth, Palestinian medics said.
Witnesses said Lubna Hanash and her companions were walking to al-Arroub College when men in Israeli military uniforms travelling in a civilian car shot at the group.
Asked about the incident, an Israeli army spokeswoman said Palestinians had thrown petrol bombs at soldiers, who then opened fire.
Earlier on Wednesday, Saleh al-Amareen, 16, died of his wounds in an Israeli hospital after being shot in the head during clashes with Israeli soldiers in a refugee camp in the West Bank town of Bethlehem on Friday.
Violence and deadly confrontations have become more frequent in the occupied West Bank since Israel announced plans late last year to expand settlements and the Palestinians won de-facto statehood recognition at the United Nations in November.

That is a daily bread. The Palestinian people have been suffering this same horrifying scenes for more than 6 decades. It is very common that an Israhelli kills a Palestinian with impunity. There is no law in that land and the Jews have done massacres, atrocities , mass murder and genocide for long time while the whole world keeps silence.

The fact that they blatantly lie to cover up their crimes with lies and then send out their propagandists to infest the net spreading those lies is proof positive they are the synagogue of satan

Their lies are becoming too much. Why would a young woman, on her way to college, have petrol bombs? That’s garbage.
And regarding the 16 yr-old killed; there are no, “clashes”, from the Palestinian side. There are peaceful demonstrations, the soldiers come along and shoot at the protesters, some disputse, they kill one (at least). Ths happens every day.
and we’re still supporting the terror BY Israhell? When, if ever, will the US government figure this out? How many Palestinians have to be murdered, in cold blood, before we STOP arming the terrorists of IDF/IOF as well as the settlers???

annebeck58 asks,” When, if ever, will the US government figure this out?” : Anne, your government is 100% complicit, your government, and others, placed these rabid terrorists in Palestine, well protected, and armed to the teeth, in order to do the “dirty work” for your/our governments..
